Tips and tricks for the best RICE KRISPIES® TREATS™

JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows are interchangeable with regular-size JET-PUFFED Marshmallows in recipes. As a rule, you can substitute 6 or 7 large JET-PUFFED Marshmallows for each cup of JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows.

To avoid a sticky situation, spray the spoon with cooking spray before using to stir the melted marshmallows into the cereal.

Although you will be tempted to eat the tasty cereal treats immediately after making them, let them cool at least 30 minutes before cutting them into squares. The cooled marshmallow-cereal mixture will be much easier to cut.

For easy cutting, unmold the pan of treats onto a cutting board. Then, use a pizza cutter or large knife sprayed with cooking spray to cut the treats into desired shapes.

To store the treats, cover the pan with foil, or wrap individual servings with plastic wrap, and store at room temperature. Do not store in refrigerator since this will make the treats soggy.
